As some of you have probably noticed already we have a new ShoutBox/SayBox. Since you all know how a ShoutBox works I will just introduce you to the features.
The probably best feature of the ChatBox are the UserCP customization options. There you are able to customise your nickname and upload an avatar (doesn't have to be 15x15px, the shoutbox will resize it on it's own. For now it will accept avatars 100x100px or smaller which doesn't exceede 19.5KB in size). Later I might add some new features as well.
The second thing is the one and only action function. We can pretty much stop using the asterisks to point on an action. The ChatBox does that for us. Just type /me in front of the action and thats it.
Example: "/me makes a post" (without the "")
Result: *FlashD makes a post*
Also the shoutbox is using AJAX technology, which helps the ShoutBox refresh itself. Yes, you heard it right ... the shoutbox auto-refreshes too <3.<3
And the last new feature is BBCode. Since the ChatBox is using vBulletin to work it also has it's features. One of them is the BBCode. You can customise your text's color or change your font by simply adding it in the message.
It's new, it's cool and it's vBulletin based. Go and try it NOW (cool)
Best regards
